Let’s Re-examine Solar Energy Policies

August 17, 2018

CEA’s Brydon Ross recently discussed the importance of creating policies which ensure a sustainable future for solar energy in New Hampshire.

Nationally, solar generation grew over 40 percent between 2016 and 2017, the U.S. Department of Energy says. It was also the nation’s largest source of new power generation to come online in the first quarter of 2018. Since 2011, prices for solar installations alone have gone down some 70 percent. A recent analysis by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory found that prices for utility-scale PV systems fell 30 percent in early 2017 from the previous year.
